Buffalo, N.Y. (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills welcomed the Green Bay Packers to town Sunday night for some Sunday Night Football following their bye week. The Bills were 5-1 coming into the game in search of their fourth straight win.
The Bills had an inconsistent night on the offensive side of the football being a high powered offense one moment, and struggling to move the ball down field the next. The defense however, stood out as always and helped slow the Packers eventually leading to a 27-17 Bills win.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott had many things to say about his team's performance following the game Sunday night. One of the most prevalent being the desire to meet high expectations week in and week out.
"I don't think our whole football team right now, myself included is where we wanna be. We did some things tonight that are uncharacteristic of how we do things. We've got a week to get those things worked out here." McDermott said, "It's hard to win and it's good to win whenever you do win so I don't want to overlook that. There was a lot of things in tonight's game that needed work."
One thing that was most noticeable from this game was the trash talk and chatter from both teams. Green Bay Packer linebacker Quay Walker was ejected from the game after an altercation with a Bills practice squad player on the sideline after a play. However, McDermott was please with how his squad kept their composure.
"I thought there were times we could've been more disciplined and should've been more disciplined. Obviously they had that one incident on our sideline there with losing their player there due to that incident. I was proud of the way our guys on the sideline held their composure on that."
Going along with the trash talk, wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a battle going with Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander. McDermott held high praise for how Diggs rose to the occasion and played his game.
"I think there's respect between the two of them for each other's game. But that happens from time to time and I know it get's Stef going. He's a competitive player and competitive person and I love watching him."
